Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 266

Adapting to the 266 heat was quite difficult.

Perhaps because he was scared of children when he was captured, he was extremely wary of Cho, Hyang, Bin-i, and Yo-hwa, and perhaps because of his experience fighting pirates, he was also quite wary of people he didn’t know.

No, should I say that he is wary of anyone other than me and afraid of other children?

Fortunately, I wasn’t on guard, but the other kids would freak out and be wary of people whenever they came near, so I had no choice but to make them stay in the building the pirates had built.

I decided to slowly introduce the other children and limit the people I met.

So that they can slowly acclimate to people or poisons.

‘Well, this guy is a wild animal, so he’ll need some time to adjust, right?’

In the previous life, the guys that individuals could adopt were divided into three types.

Those bred on farms are called farm-bred individuals, those bred by individuals are called individual-bred individuals, and lastly, those caught in the wild are called wild individuals, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, those bred by farms or individuals are very easy to raise.

Since the horse is already accustomed to the feed, it is not picky about what it eats, and since it is adapted to the local climate, it usually suffers from few minor illnesses.

However, the downsides are pigmentation and genetic diseases.

Those that have been specially bred for color have pretty colors, but because they are inbred, or inbred, they become genetically weak, and the disadvantage of general breeding is that their colors are somewhat lacking.

In the wild, they compete with males and are very active in decorating their bodies to attract females, so they have outstanding coloration, but farms and individual breeding stock lack this.

Since the owners keep them alone for fear of fighting, it is difficult for them to face a male to compete with.

That’s why, if you want to make the breeding population genetically healthier or want individuals with outstanding coloring, you often get individuals caught in the wild. After all, wild individuals are individuals who have lived in the wild.

When you adopt a dog, it needs a period of adaptation to food and people, so we set aside some time for the dog to adapt.

After Moji and Soji’s fixation was completed, I was going to go out and look for this guy, but I had already found him, so I had some time to spare.

After three or four days, the boy slowly began to adapt, and by the age of nineteen, he was no longer afraid of other children and had become completely accustomed to people.

It seemed like it was not a normal animal, but an intelligent spirit.

If it had been an ordinary poison, it would have taken months.

-Tsuki.

“I guess he’s adjusted well now?”

A guy who waves his tentacles and eats the meat his sister Seol hands him.

The sister was looking at the guy with cute eyes.

That’s because there’s no moment more enjoyable than providing food for something you’re raising.

It’s fun to raise my children because they are all amazing creatures, but one thing I regret is that I can’t provide them with food.

Other than giving the yoghurt energy and occasionally eating Hwari before Yeondu became an adult, there was no need to feed it, but feeding this guy was fun.

Because it ate meat like other beetles.

“I guess so?”

When I looked at the guy eagerly eating the raw goat meat that my sister Seol had handed me, the rope tied to the guy’s back caught my eye.

It was clear that the fairy had been keeping the guy from flying away, but I was starting to think that it was time to let him go.

This guy seems to be quite liking his life here.

“Yeolbi, if you live with us, I will prepare food for you like this every day and clean your shell every day. Do you know that my brother also catches all the ticks on your body?”

-Tsuki!

“Yeah, you feel good now that you don’t have ticks anymore, right?”

-Tsuki!

“So, are you going to live with me for the rest of your life?”

-Tsuki Tsuki!

A guy who nods his head while eating meat all the time.

I decided to summon the demon and have him remove the thread.

After all, isn’t trust the most important thing in all relationships?

Since the guy said he wanted to live with me for the rest of his life, I couldn’t keep him tied up like a prisoner forever.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey!”

Let’s go outside and look for the fairy, it’s the guy who climbs up to the top of the building and comes down on a thread.

The guy who got down at the entrance tilted his head.

-Kissit?

“Oh, it’s nothing else. I just want you to untie the strings that are tied to the heat shield.”

-Kissishit?

“No, now that you’ve adapted well and are living with us, I’m going to let you go.”

-Kishishishit. Kiss?

“I don’t know what you’re saying, but wait a minute. I’ll call you Yohwa.”

He’s pointing to the inside of the boiler and saying something, but it’s unclear what he’s saying exactly.

It may seem like a story about not letting go, but to be precise, I decided to call the first person down and ask for an interpreter.

‘Hey! Where are you!? Come over here for a moment to the house the pirates have built?’

As I called out to the candle in my mind, it soon appeared, dripping water.

He must have been swimming, but he put a large carp down next to me and asked,

‘-Tsurut? ‘Dad, why did you call?’

‘You have to be able to understand what the fairy is saying.’

‘-Tsururur? “Are you the fairy sister?”‘

The first person to start a conversation was a fairy who looked at me and said,

-Tsrrrr.

-Kissit. Kissishi.

The two were talking about something, and then Cho interpreted what they were talking about.

‘-Tsur. Tsururut. ‘I said that I thought Yeolbi was suspicious, so I said let’s take our time with the thread.”

‘Is that so?’

When I looked at Yeolbi, who said something suspicious, the guy crawled over to me and rubbed his face against my leg.

The guy looked up at me with his round eyes.

With an expression that seemed terribly wronged.

-Tsuki. Tsukii.

Then, as the guy was asking something of the demon and the hermit, the demon crossed his arms and looked at the guy before moving his front paw and taking the guy’s thread.

-Thump. Tutuk.

The spider web was cut as if by a knife as the fairy’s front legs moved quickly.

The fairy who cut the spider web left a final message to Yeolbi.

-Kishi···.

Then Yeolbi is startled.

Yeol-bi, who was looking at me at the fairy’s words, shook her head as if she absolutely did not agree with me.

-Ts, Tsuki!

I felt like I knew what he meant even without an interpreter.

If you believe it once, you will be defeated if you run away and get caught, or if you run away and get caught, it was something like that.

Do you think that just by looking at Yeolbi’s excuses, you can tell that he’s angry?

I thought the kid was going to wet his pants if he kept doing that.

Because I’m scared of ghosts sometimes too.

***

“Hey, Yeolbi?”

I was going to introduce the other kids to him in the morning, but when I woke up, Yeolbi was gone.

I thought maybe he had gone out early, so I went outside and asked the fairy above his head.

“Hey, my lord, why didn’t you come out here?”

I haven’t let him out once since I brought him home, but he said he was allowed to go out yesterday morning, so I thought he went out first.

The demon was guarding the entrance, so if you came out through the entrance, he would know.

-Kissit?

A fairy who comes down on my words and examines the inside of the building.

Because of mosquitoes, the windows were blocked with magic thread and the entrance was covered with a mat.

I checked the window with the spiderweb, wondering if it had broken through, but there was nothing unusual about the spiderweb on the window.

I looked everywhere for this guy, but he had completely disappeared.

At that moment, the voices of other children could be heard from the entrance, and Bin, Hyang, and Hongdan entered the building.

-Tsururur!?

-What?

-Tsurut?

I quickly told Bin-i and Hyang-i, who were asking what was going on, that Yeol-bi had disappeared.

“I was looking for Yeolbi because she suddenly disappeared.”

-Tsururut!?

-Huh!?

The children stand up with tentacles in their hands at the news that the heat has disappeared.

The children began to search all over the inside of the building.

Hyang-i climbs up the ceiling and checks all the gaps, while Bin-i checks the floor.

As everyone was looking inside, Hong Dan-i’s scream was suddenly heard.

-Kkiit!

Startled by Hong Dan-i’s scream, I looked towards where the sound was coming from, and I could hear Hong Dan-i’s crying coming from under the pile of grass she had laid down to sleep.

I quickly ran to clear the grass away, revealing a large hole dug through the wooden floor beneath the dry grass that had been laid down.

“What, what is this!?”

-What?

-Tsrrrr!

It would have been reasonable to expect that it would have made some noise to gnaw through a tree this size, but if it had been done quietly and without a sound, it would have been impossible to do so in a day or two.

It definitely felt like it wasn’t something that happened in a day or two.

“This kid was acting so cute yesterday and he prepared something like this!”

Yesterday you were acting so cute and aegyo, but it was all a lie.

While I was furious at the fact that the guy had disappeared, there was another spirit who was just as furious as me.

-Kissit!

The fact that the demon had escaped by digging a hole made him extremely angry.

I asked Cho a little because he was so much angrier than I thought, and he replied that he was angry that I had deceived him.

‘Oh, really?’

For that reason, a search party was immediately organized under the command of Yohwa, even though I did not give any instructions.

-Kishishishishi!

-Tsurut! Tsuruur!

-Sia!

Cho and Yeondu flew across the sky, and Bin-i, Hyang-i, and Hong-dan-i began to search the grass thoroughly.

I went out to Cheongyu and started searching the area, scattering snakes, but I had a feeling that if I caught that guy Yeolbi, I would be in big trouble.

‘Yeolbi, the sisters are angry. If you get caught, you’re lost.’

***

At the sound of Yeolbi’s scream, the owner of the house opened his eyes in the cave.

And answering Yeolbi’s words, he crawled out, wriggling his body arrogantly.

-Ska? “What’s going on?”

As the master of the tribe crawled out of the cave, his scales sparkled in the sunlight.

Its red body and orange horns were shining in the sunlight.

Yeolbi’s answer to the owner of the house who crawled out of the cave.

-Tsuki! “Brother, please help me. Other poisonous creatures have come to my land and trapped me, tormenting me!”

The owner of the house asked back at the mention of other poisons.

-Skaat!? 『Another poison?』

-Tsukitski! 『Yes, Brother! You appeared on my land and harassed me···.』

-Scar? “Did other guys enter your area? Didn’t I say that I forbid private fighting? Who dares disobey orders?”

At first I thought the guys below were fighting each other.

It’s only recently that I gave an order to make things quiet down, but the guys below often fight over territory.

But Yeolbi shakes her head at the question of the immigrant owner.

-Tsukit! 『No, brother! It was the first time I saw those spirits!』

-Scar? “This is your first time seeing me?”

-Tsukii. “Yes, brother. They’re females…”

-Scott!? 『What, female!?』

The owner tilted his head at the mention of the appearance of spirits he had never seen before, but his scales stood on end when he heard that they were females.

Because we haven’t seen a female for decades.

Because this was the island that females were not even allowed to see, as if it were cursed.

-Tsuki! Yes, Goku and Jiju are like snails…

But interest quickly waned in the words that followed.

It was good because it was a female, but then I said it wasn’t a female snake.

-Ska···. 『I also···.』

-Tsuki? “Huh?”

-Scott. “Oh, no.”

After roughly brushing aside his regrets, he asks for help in getting his land back.

-Tsukit! 『Anyway, Brother, please help me drive those guys out!』

They were probably new spirits that had come from outside, and as the master of the house, it seemed necessary to go and give them some advice.

It’s common for the lower classes to fight over territory, but it was necessary to let them know whose land this was.

-Skaa. “Okay, let’s go!”

-Tsukitski! “As expected, there’s only you, Big Brother!”

The owner of the house jumps out of the cave and slides down the slope.

His body dug into the ground and rocks and emerged repeatedly as he headed towards the land of heat.

After running for a long time, we arrived at the swamp.

The host of the migration that arrived at the swamp trembled.

A green snake floating in the sky.

Because a beautiful snake he had never seen before was talking to him.

-Shaaah? “Excuse me, but that child seems to have run away from us. Can you hand him over?”

-Tsuki! Tsutsu···! 『I’ve never seen them before, but they’re in league with you! You’re going to catch me and run away! I’m going to serve my brother, the master of this place···. Ugh! Ugh!』

At the words of the green snake floating in the sky, the owner of the house quickly wrapped his body around his younger brother.

And he said it in the most polite voice possible.

-Skaa···. “I just happened to catch it after hearing the story.”

It was clear that my brother had done something wrong.
